Just like you, I am strong at Quant and weak at Verbal.

I recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of the test, and for this I strongly recommend Princeton Review's Cracking the GMAT. They give a solid introduction, and their material is probably good enough to get you into the 650-720 range.

After that, it's just a matter of finding your weaknesses and targeting them, and the best way to accomplish this is to do a lot of problems from the OG11.

Also, pick up the SC, RC, and CR 1000s from these forums, as they are great tools for brute forcing the right mindset in your head.

For Quant, you sound fairly competent, so I would not worry about it too much. The math is pretty straightforward for people with a technical background. At the same time, I wouldn't skimp too much on it because a few too many careless errors could put you just out of the 99%ile.

If you are great at Quant, 700+ should not be very difficult, a 51+Q score can take you there with just mediocre Verbal skills.
